Vipps QR
Prerequisites
Nets payment terminals now allow transactions via Vipps QR. As a prerequisite, the terminal must have an up-to-date payment application (version 08.06) and an agreement must also be signed with Nets. Vipps QR will then be activated by Nets, and the user will then be able to activate the service in the terminal. To activate the service in the terminal, the user must only possess a standard redemption agreement for BankAxept.
For the cardholder to be able to use Vipps QR in the terminal, the
cardholder’s bank must support Vipps. As of today, not all banks support this.
However, Vipps is working with the banks to make the service available to all
their customers.
Updating software in the terminal
We always recommend that the terminal is loaded with the latest version of
software. If the software is older than version 08.06, an update is required.
To be able to support Vipps QR in the terminal, version 08.06 must be
installed.
Software Update:
- Drag the merchant card (with the magnetic stripe facing left).
- Press [8] Software (“Programvare”).
- Press [OK] to start software update.
Download card agreements to the terminal
- Drag the merchant card (with the magnetic stripe facing left).
- Press [1] Card agreements (“Kortavtaler”).
- Press [1] Fetch agreements (“Hent avtaler”).
Perform manual reconciliation
- Press MENU.
- Press [6] Reconciliation (“Avstemming”).
- The terminal then prints a reconciliation report.
After downloading card agreements, a list of all active agreements in the terminal will appear in the display on the terminal. Please check that Vipps is visible in the list. If Vipps does not appear in the list, the agreement is not activated in the terminal. For assistance, please contact Nets Customer Service on +47 915 08989.
Printing card agreements
Perform the below steps to print the list of card agreements that are currently in the terminal. Then check to see whether Vipps is on the list.

Payment methods – Vipps QR
Vipps supports the following transactions:
- Purchase
- Cancellation
Vipps does not support the following transactions:
Refund
A refund cannot be carried out using the Vipps application, but instead is
carried out in the conventional way (payment is returned to a payment card via
the terminal).
Purchase with Vipps QR
-
The cashier initiates payment to the terminal by sending the transfer amount from the Electronic Cash Register (ECR), or (for standalone terminals) the amount is entered into the terminal manually.
-
The terminal will then show “Press 5 for Vipps” in the terminal display.
-
To retrieve the QR code, the cardholder must press 5 on the terminal screen.
-
The cardholder opens the Vipps application on their smartphone and scans the QR code.
-
Using the Vipps application, the cardholder approves the payment.
-
The terminal screen shows whether the transaction is approved or rejected.
-
The terminal prints the receipt. “Q” in the reference string (Ref.) indicates that the payment was completed via QR code.
Cancellation
Cancellation is initiated in the conventional way on the terminal. The terminal prints a receipt with “Q” in the reference string (Ref.). This indicates that the payment has been made via QR code.
Refund
Refunds cannot be carried out using the Vipps application. They must be carried out via the terminal using the customer’s payment card.
Reports and reconciliation
Vipps AS, which owns BankAxept, has designed Vipps QR as a service based on BankAxept. When the cardholder scans the QR code in the terminal and accepts the payment in the Vipps app, the transaction will be converted to a BankAxept transaction. The transaction is therefore carried out on the terminal in the same way that any contactless BankAxept transaction is performed. Vipps QR transactions are paid out together with other BankAxept transactions.
Reconciliation of the terminal transfers the transactions to the settlement account on the following business day.
As per today, Vipps QR transactions appear as a regular BankAxept transaction in the MyNets. We are looking into the possibilities of offering QR transaction information in the same portal later.
